Win the 2026 BDR Sweepstakes Bike

August 26th, 2026

For adventure riders, a Round the World (RTW) trip is the ultimate journey: crossing countries and continents by motorcycle, living off your bike, navigating borders, exploring remote places, and experiencing the world well beyond the pavement. With BDR now expanding into Canada and looking toward new horizons, the RTW theme feels especially fitting.

This year, BDR is celebrating that spirit with the BDR ‘Round the World’ Edition, and we couldn’t think of a better bike to build it on than one with “World” right in its name.

The Bike Everyone’s Been Waiting For

For years, the Ténéré 700 World Raid was the adventure bike American riders could only read about. Yamaha kept it in Europe, leaving riders here watching from the sidelines. In 2026, that finally changed. The World Raid arrived in the U.S. for the very first time, and demand has made it one of the toughest new adventure bikes to get your hands on.

BDR has one. And it could be yours.

Born from Yamaha’s Dakar Rally heritage, the World Raid takes the legendary Ténéré 700 and builds it for big adventures and long miles. It’s incredibly capable right out of the box, but BDR has taken it even further to create the ultimate RTW machine.
